alwslate,
Indeed. I started loading in high school for my 6.5x55 Swedish in 1958. I looked at the snub nose loads in Speer #8 (I have a copy) for 38 Special and just shake my head. Not for me. My high school rifle team used to shoot on the police detective range and the instructors would let us shoot their snubs. I do remember an awful lot of recoil from some very, very stout loads. SR4756 is one of my favorites and I'm down to my last pound.
